Apple Bloom: Ah! I can't wait! Twilight's school is supposed to be amazin' inside!

Sweetie Belle: [whispering] Rarity says there's never been a school like it!

Scootaloo: [grunting] I heard the students get to do tons of awesome stuff!

Apple Bloom: Do ya see anything yet?

Scootaloo: Uh, yeah. It looks like a broom! And a dustpan and some buckets.

Sweetie Belle: That sounds like a closet.

Apple Bloom: Try another window.

Cutie Mark Crusaders: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Scootaloo: Whoa...

Pinkie Pie: Whooooo's ready for cupcakes?!

[music]

Gallus: [slurps]

Pinkie Pie: Oh, they're not for you, silly. They're for sharing! First, say something nice like this. Ocellus, you are a great listener! Now you get to keep one cupcake and share one with another creature.

Ocellus: Yona, you're really strong!

Yona: [chomps]

[crashes]

Pinkie Pie: Ugh!

Scootaloo: [gasps]

Cutie Mark Crusaders: Whoa!

[thud]

Cutie Mark Crusaders: [oohing and ahhing]

Fluttershy: All right, students! It's time to meet some new friends!

Students: [excited chatter]

Cutie Mark Crusaders: [oohing and ahhing]

Applejack: Incomin'! [grunts]

Students: [laughter]

Applejack: That's friendship in action, y'all!

Students: [excited chatter]

Sweetie Belle: Wow! And I thought our school was fun!

Scootaloo: Yeah! Miss Cheerilee never lets us play buckball in class. I know. I've tried.

Sweetie Belle: Green, purple, yellow. And one more purple. Whew. Sorting all those took longer than I thought.

Cozy Glow: You really think Mrs. Cake will like these new sprinkle shakers?

Sweetie Belle: Mm-hmm. Now she won't have to use rainbow sprinkles all the time. She can just pick the color she wants!

[bell ringing]

Mrs. Cake: Ooh! I'm sorry, I was out to lunch. Were you fillies waiting for me long?

Cozy Glow: No. Um, these are for you!

Mrs. Cake: Oh, well, what a lovely surprise! I can't wait to try them out!

[sprinkles shaking]

Mrs. Cake: Look! I made rainbow sprinkles! Aren't they wonderful?

Cozy Glow: But... she... I... [groans]

Sweetie Belle: At least she likes her present?

Cozy Glow: Uh-huh...

[thuds]

[whistling]

Cozy Glow: Golly. How'd you know that would make him so happy?

Apple Bloom: Friendship means pitchin' in to help others' chores go faster. 'Specially when their special somepony's waitin' for 'em.

[school bell ringing]

[students chattering and laughing]

Scootaloo: [groans] That class was so boring!

Sweetie Belle: Not even Miss Cheerilee can make the history of radishes exciting.

Apple Bloom: I bet they don't have to learn about that stuff at Twilight's school.

[zoom!]

[crash!]

Cozy Glow: Guess what! I got an A on my homework!

Scootaloo: [cheers]

Apple Bloom: Nice goin'!

Cozy Glow: And I never could have done it without your help!

Sweetie Belle: No problem!

Scootaloo: We just wish we could have done more.

Cozy Glow: Actually, you can. Headmare Twilight is giving us a big test at the end of the week, and I could really use your help studying.

Apple Bloom: We wanted to go to Twilight's school more than anything. But helpin' you has been even more fun! You can count on us!

[montage music]

[Angel munching]

[magic noises]

Cozy Glow: Um... intelligence?

[magic noises]

[clattering]

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom: [laughing]

Cozy Glow: [giggles]

[music continues]

Apple Bloom and Cozy Glow: [giggling]

Cozy Glow: Laughter?

Sweetie Belle: Yes!

Cozy Glow: Is it... control?

[wind blowing]

[bushes rustling]

Cozy Glow: Kindness! Loyalty! Honesty! Generosity! Laughter! Magic!

Cutie Mark Crusaders and Cozy Glow: [cheering]

[students laughing]

Apple Bloom: How'd the test go?

Sweetie Belle: Were there essay questions?

Scootaloo: Did you remember what we taught you?

Cozy Glow: I... failed! [crying]

Apple Bloom: But how could Cozy Glow fail her friendship test?

Twilight Sparkle: Ahem. I'd like to see you three in my office!

Scootaloo: [quietly] I know we wanted to be invited inside, but it kinda went different in my head.

Twilight Sparkle: I can't believe you'd do something like this!

Apple Bloom: Like what?

Twilight Sparkle: You are Cozy Glow's tutors, aren't you?

Scootaloo: We've been working with her for days!

Twilight Sparkle: That's what she told me. So you've been setting her up to fail?

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo: What?!

Apple Bloom: How?!

Twilight Sparkle: I know you're upset that I won't let you come to my school, but to teach Cozy all the wrong things out of spite... That's just cruel!

Sweetie Belle: But we taught her all the right things!

Twilight Sparkle: Then how do you explain these friendship test answers? [reading] "What are the six Elements of Harmony?" Five turtlenecks and a cheese grater? "Who is the Princess of Friendship?" Your mom?

Apple Bloom: I... I don't understand.

Twilight Sparkle: Me neither. I never thought you three would pull such a mean prank. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to stay away from my school. And my students.

[door closes]

Cozy Glow: Oh, no!

Starlight Glimmer: Hmm? [dryly] Yay. Now I'll alphabetize them in reverse order. [sighs] Not much need for a guidance counselor at a school of friendship.

Cozy Glow: [clearing throat]

Starlight Glimmer: Aah!

[thud]

Starlight Glimmer: How much of that did you hear?! Uh, never mind.

[teleportation zap]

Starlight Glimmer: [laughs nervously] Welcome! Can I get you a comfort pillow? Security blanket? Empathy cocoa?

Cozy Glow: Well, the Cutie Mark Crusaders wanted to go to this school more than anything. So I thought if I showed Headmare Twilight they're bad at friendship, she'd let them come here with me.

Starlight Glimmer: That's devious. I-I mean, I see. [sips cocoa]

Cozy Glow: I guess I still have a lot to learn about friendship.

Starlight Glimmer: Actually, I think you're doing all right. Sure, that was a really, really bad way to try to help your friends, but what matters is you wanted to. The reason the Cutie Mark Crusaders don't go to this school is because they'd make better teachers than students.

Cozy Glow: So you do have a place for them here?

Starlight Glimmer: Hmmm...

[students chattering]

[scraping]

Apple Bloom: [groans] I bet there's no "Wonderful World of Cleaning" lesson at Twilight's school.

Sweetie Belle: [coughs] We'll never find out now.

Scootaloo: [sighs] I still don't get how Cozy failed her test after all that studying.
